Olean gunman in jail

An Olean man is in jail without bail this morning after he
allegedly shot a man then held police at bay outside his apartment for seven
hours. 43-year old Christopher Beach of Buffalo Street is charged with felony
counts of assault 1st degree and weapons possession. It began about 11 Tuesday
morning when a man attempted to serve Beach with an eviction notice. Beach
allegedly opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle, shooting through the door.
Steve Bryer was struck and flown to ECMC in Buffalo where’s he’s reported in
stable condition. After several rounds of tear gas were deployed, a SWAT team
rushed the apartment and forcibly took Beach into custody. He was another court
hearing tomorrow.
